It's six weeks since this post, but I want you to know that I have been following your work and/or your research being referenced elsewhere. I'm glad you are here.

I’m a moderate, independent, religiously observant person who favors nuance and balance. And I vastly prefer it here. And would enjoy seeing your work in this feed. Thanks for sharing so much good stuff, Ryan.

Same.

And as I replied "over there"... 1) This seems like you are getting more engagement per post on BlueSky given you have 1/10th the followers? 2) BlueSky does not seem to have (or I have not found it) nearly as robust a religion-interested cohort as X. Hopefully that will change.

I think there's something to be said about Point 2. BlueSky is a much more liberal place than current Twitter. Liberal places tend to be less religious places in 2024. So, less religious people are here versus Twitter.

And, of the religious folks here, they’re likely liberal/progressive. Folks on the more conservative side of the spectrum but who would also like and follow your work aren’t on here, a whole segment of your audience you might be missing.

So 10x followers, 5x retweets, and 10x click throughs.

Twitter comments are now a hot steaming pile of 💩. You now have to wade through 500 blue-check marked reply guys trying to make money with nonsensical, often AI-generated garbage, before you find the first useful comment that actually adds value to the conversation.

Came here because of your Twitter post. Cheers!

After a few weeks I'm mostly enjoying the content here, but there's not as many folks here (yet) as over there for the content I'm looking for.

Follower totals divided by repost numbers X: 27k/225 = 120 Bsky: 2.8k/55 = 53.8 Looking only at the cold numbers, you've got slightly less than half of the total repost numbers found on X (44.86%), but with a Bsky follower count that's almost 10x smaller (your X's tally is 9.64 times higher).

Also the sample size is pretty small. There's one big outlier there where BlueSky had a lot more engagement than usual. I will do this maybe a couple dozen times and then come to a clearer conclusion.
